... Why are the pages so grainy?

EDIT: Nevermind, saw the credits page.

Souta has too much manliness to be able to wear a maid uniform comfortably. Nei's friend (?) should have made him a butler suit.

There's only one thing in the chapter I had trouble reading after scaling it all down with the reader settings until it looked better, but it was still possible to read it at that point I guess. Try fit width and limiting the width to 600. It's just that first actual page's "A JK who obsesses over everything her elementary schooler says" that was kind of tricky, so I would say there's probably a better solution like putting it in the margin with a larger font or something? Sacrificing the entire chapter's quality seems like a weird choice for one of those little non-bubble pieces of additional dialogue.

@Glomoro Yes, that was the text that was basically impossible to read with the original resolution (although some others were somewhat borderline too maybe). I know this is very far from perfect this way too though.
The core problem is, that most of these manga pages are rather low resolution, so it's kind of tricky to work with them. Nevertheless, I think it's a very-very cute and adorable manga, so I really love it.

@Sora_92 Another thing to try might have been that waifu2x thing I keep hearing about but hadn't really used before. I just gave it a shot with a screenshot of the page at the 600 width settings I mentioned and got this pretty much instantly.

With the pages that size the typesetting could have been done on there and then probably scaled down a bit again to look pretty good and not be too large while still being easier to read the tricky spots.

@Glomoro That's very interesting. Thank you. We'll look deeper into that, and that might be a good solution, if there are similar unusually tricky chapters in the future.

Look, it's true love when you're both wearing Maid Dresses. Komi-san taught me that.

@Glomoro I don't think the Waifu2x method is good to be used in this way. The lines look unnatural because the original is horribly low-res, so even a straight line can get misinterpreted as something else by the AI over at Waifu2x. If you resample with any "preserve details" or "smooth" options during upscaling using Photoshop, it looks unnaturally sharp as well. Personally I'd rather it be grainy (more true to the original) than have a program/AI interpolate some non-existent details/lines/strokes out of nowhere.

I wondered how a half demon gets raised to be such a shota thirsty perv... She gets it from her mom. X3
